Variety description

10 August 2026

The shrub forms erect shoots, creating a narrow oval or columnar crown, which can become spreading with age. The mature plant reaches a height of 1 to 1.5 meters. The leaves are large, yellow with a carmine border on young shoots, and turn orange-red in the autumn.

The plant blooms in May and early June with small yellow flowers, followed by the formation of red fruits that remain on the branches until frosts. The variety is resistant to leaf spot, drought, and intense sunlight, but does not tolerate stagnant moisture well. It responds well to pruning and shaping.
